Teeth are just as easily starved as the
stomach said lecturer the other night.
The fact is that you and your fathers have
from generation to generation been indus
triously starving your teeth. In one way it
is a blessing to have been born of poor parents.
What food the poor give their children Is Of
variety that goes to make strong bones and
teeth. 1t is the outside Of all the grains Of all
cereal food that contains the carbonate and
phosphate of lime and traces Of other earthly
salts which nourish the bOny tissues and
build the frame up. five do not furnish to
the teeth of the young the pabulum they
require they cannot possibly be built up.
II is the outside of corn, oats, wheat, barley
and the like, or the brain, so called, that we
sift away and feed to the swine, that the teeth
actually require for their proper nourlshment.
The wisdom of man has proven his folly,
shown in every succeeding generation Of teeth,
which become more and more fragile and
weak.

Chicago is the only city in the United
States that has gone earnestly to work put
ting its telegraph wires under ground" said
City Electrician Barrett the other day. Gal
though many cities have passed ordinances to
his effect" continued the official, ''the law
has not been enforced, and dilatOry court pro-
ceedings have kept active movements in abey-
ance. We have made great progress in our
city, and expect to have every pole pulled
down as far south as Twelfth street before the
end of this year. There are now in the central
portion of the city only very few poles. and
these are standing on Washington and Dear
born streets, with few on Michigan avenue.
Tie telegraph companies are going ahead
faster than the city in burying their wires,
and lack of funds keeps back our part of
the work. The city is growing fast, and APP
preparations have to be used in extending the
wires, leaving but small amount to be APP
piled in this direction. There Is about Sl2,-
200 to be expended in buying the wires, and
we will follow the telephone company to West
Madison street In the work. There will also
be considerable work done on the north SIDE
md the heaviest wires will be under ground
.efore the end of the summer throughout the
entire business portion Of the city.

STANTON, VA. Sept. 23-The State
Prohibition Conference met here to-day.
One hundred and forty delegates, about
one-fourth colored, were present, rep
reSenting twenty-nine counties and
nine cities. After the appointment of
committees the conference took a re-
cess until two O'Clock. The delegations
embrace hitherto prominent leaders of
both political parties.
The Evening session of the Prohibi-
ton State Conference was principally
occupied in discussing the platform.
Objection was made to the introduce
ton of any issue save prohibition, but
by an overwhelming majority the OBJ
lection was oVerruled and the platform
as reported was adopted. The
platform demands the pro-
hlbition of manufacture and
sale of alcoholic beverages by state
and national laws, and that such laws
be vitalized by a party based upon the
| principles and uncompromisingly com
mitted to their enforcement. 1t de

Coat Famine Predicted.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-The coal dealers
declare that there is very scant sup
ply of anthracite coal, not only in
Chicago but throughout the west. They
predict that that coal will be worth 50
or $40 per ton in Chicago before snow
and that the Western country will have
to depend upon corn cobs for fuel this
winter.

coming worse and worse. 1t is very
unfair, however, for the papers to say
that Chicago dealers are in any way to
blame for the present condition Of af-
fairs, which is equally as injurious to
them as the consumers. The coal ring
is in Pennsylvania and New York and
not in Chicago, and the representatives
here are simply salaried agents who
can do nothing but their bidding"

Nothing except that they went over

Friends Conferences.

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 23.-The first
representative conference of the ortho-
dOx Friends for over half century,
began its session in this city to-day. 1t
originated in a call issued by the
Indiana yearly meeting last year
addressed to all coordinate
bodies with which its correspondence
has been maintained. Delegates re-
sponded from London, Dublin, New
England, New York, Baltimore, North
Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Western
Iowa and Kansas. The yearly meet
ings at Philadelphia were discontinued
having had correspondence with other
meetings thirty years ago, and was not
therefore included in the call.
After considerable discussion, the
method of determining the judg-
ments of the conference, usual in
Friends meeting, was adopted as dis
tinguished from voting either as in
dividuals or yearly meetings. In the
evening session the business COM
mittee presented the question ''Is it
desirable that all yearly meeting of
Friends in the world should adopt one
declaration of Christian doctrine. +"
DIR. Rhodes, President of the Bryn
Mawr College, made a very
able argument for the affirm
collective of the testimony of the So
lures, the fatherhoOd of God, the
atonement and other offices of Jesus
Christ, non-necessity of the outward
ordinances and lawfulness of their
disuse for peace against oathS.

ed by the conference.

Organizing q Naval Reserve.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-About fifty
prominent steamship owners, yatch-
men, merchants and ex-marine revenue
officers yesterday held a meeting in the
United States circuit court room here
and discussed the advisabllity OF eS-
tablishing a naval reserve. Eldridge
II. Gerry, commodore of the New York
Yacht club, was chairman of the meet
ing and stated the object to be to con-
slider the organization of a naval re-
serve, which in time of war would be
an auxiliary to the navy, Just as the
militia is an auxiliary to the regular
army. The reserve navy of England
was cited, with its 25 600 men, and the
like precautions of Canada. He men,
toned the steam yachts of thesNew
York Yacht club some OF which had
developed q speed of from fourteen to
eighteen and a half knots per hour, and
would make the finest torpedo boats in
the world. Miller, manager of the
Stonington line, offered a series of res
olutions approving the establishment
of a naval reserve to consist of officers
and men from the mercantile marine,
yachtsmen. watermen generally, and
of vessels to be built with reference to
use in time Of war as auxiliary to the
regular navy, such reserve to be estab-
lished on the great lakes as well as on
the seaboard. The secretary of the
navy is to be consulted by a committee

NO CAUSE For ALARM.
Lvon,a sem,-CenteDniAl.

LYONS, N. Y, Sept, 23.-At the
Semi Centennial Fair Celebration here
to-day, Senator Hiscock spoke of the
commanding part which the farmer
had taken on the development of the
country and their dependence upon
other industries. Notwithstanding the
growth of labor-saving machine
ry, wages had advanced from
20 to 40 per cent. He call
question of government which must
be resolved in the near future. The
first must be protection from internal
Anarchy and outward assaults. He
would not advocate organization by
farmers as class but work with the
existing parties. In this way they
could best solve the financial, educa-
tional and moral questions of the day.
Senator Sherman in his address dis
claimed the ability to instruct farmers
as to the best method of farming and
said, ''yet, l do know something about
farming. We are compelled in all pro-
fessional pursuits, and especially as
members of Congress, to study sta
tistics of agriculture because upon the
price, increase and diversity of raised
production depend the wealth and
progress Of the country for which
we 1egislate. Farmers must watch the
market and keep up with the times, as
their fellow workmen, the manufac
turer, mechanic and merchant must do.
In respect of diversity of productions
the will of the farmer is the opposite
of that of the mechanic. His issue and
profit depend upon the variety of his
employment, diversity of his produc-
lions and full and constant occupation
of his time. 1t follows, therefore, that
the success of the farmer de-
of his products, but this is not always
so. In many communities special in
ducements are found to be adapted to
soil, climate and market" Senator
Sherman then spoke of the produc-
lions of varied regions. He said eX-
perience has shown that special
Industries can be favorably prosecuted
for time; but those are
exceptions and do not long
giving away to development of mines,
furnaces and mills. Corn no longer
dominates in the West. All these are
based on the simple rule of political
economy, that producers get as near
the consumer as possible. Again, the
constant aim of the farmer should be
to find out ana develop new
agricultural productions, 50 DIS
to supply new wants and
encourage new demands. In this, all
farmers have secured valuable ally
in the Department of Agriculture. 1t
is time now for the Eastern farmers to
compete with the Western farmers s,
and therefore they ought to study to
diversity tt cir emplOyments and add
to the nun Der of their productions.
Senator Sherman then called attention
to the possibility of producing tea and
sugar in the Northern states and spoke
of the-Vast sum that the people of the
United States expended yearly for i'm
portations, notably $3.50, 900 600 fol
sugar, which could be produced al
home. He closed by urging the farm
ers to cultivate the beet root for theil
sugar-making and said that enough
sugar could be produced in this eoun
| try to supply all our wants. Senator
Sherman's address was received witt
great applause.
